411.25 is what percent of 565 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 565 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 565, so we can write it down as 100%=565.
4. We know, that x% equals 411.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=411.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=565
2) x%=411.25
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=565/411.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 411.25 is what percent of 565

100%/x%=565/411.25
(100/x)*x=(565/411.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3738601823708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3738601823708) to get x
100/1.3738601823708=x
72.787610619469=x
x=72.787610619469

now we have:
411.25 is 72.787610619469% of 565
